This is the final week of Summer Harvest at Wild Hare, and though we may be leaving Summer behind, there is still an abundance of incredible produce and hard work ahead of us this Fall.  The crew made their way through a jungle of vines to pick a few more fleetingly ripe tomatoes before starting the heavy task of hauling Winter Squash in from the field for storage this afternoon.  There’s plenty I’m going to miss about Summer, as I do each year, but I’m looking forward to digging into all the apples, pears, roots and squash that make for such warm and nourishing meals when the weather cools off.  Sounds cozy, right?  I could go for a little coziness.  It has been one of those Mondays (which is why my weekly note is coming your way so incredibly late).  I started this day at my desk before the sun was up, drafting a harvest plan for the day, and here I am again, after sundown.  This day had it all equipment problems, receiving late deliveries, squeezing produce into coolers, getting to the bus stop and cello lessons on time, sniffles, not forgetting to submit payroll, and taking late night runs out to the chicken yard while the other one tries to figure out why the website editor keeps giving her error messages.   Alas, this is the second time I have written my weekly email tonight—draft number one is drifting somewhere in the digital ether.  But, even though I have lost most of my words the first time around, the most important ones are still here---they are THANK and YOU.  Our days are very full, but thanks to the care and enthusiasm of this community, those days have added up to several seasons and almost ten full years of growth and a whole lot of good food.  Thank you for choosing us to be your farmers.   It means the world.
